Tornadoes in the Southeast

Social Networks were alive all night long, and twitter was actually down for a moment either for maintenance or because it's servers were overloaded.  I did not stay up to see the reports but I tried to follow numerous reports by Meteorologists, Public Safety Workers, Skywarn, etc.  Up to around 21 tornadoes were spotted overnight and this makes one feel happy that we live were we do and we don't have to wake up in the middle of the night worried about our family and if we need to run to find shelter.   Here is an overview by weather.com explaining the many reports that occurred since yesterday.  Looking online there is an unconfirmed report of 4 fatalities in Alabama from Tornadoes.
